This is a great place my children always loved the bounce house but the lady who worked it has not been there she was Awsome! We hope we see her soon.
Was at this game and others. Was a real good one too.
Wanted to post and let people know about The Blue Wahoos and Bayfront Stadium. If people are looking for a cost effective and family friendly activity, this is a good one. The food is not really that high priced, considering. Vendors in the stands are reasonable too. They to sell beer and such but it’s not a wild party atmosphere. On the extremely rare occurrence it does happen, the other fans hush it up real quick. I don’t think I heard one expletive all night last night.
Very family frendly. Had a great time!
